Timbers are shivered.

Context matters. You’re being disingenuous.

I am literally using Linux right now. Busy spending all my hours trying to fix it and make it work.

And I even attached a screenshot of the Linux desktop.

It’s clear that I’m saying that I’m spending hours fixing Linux to make Steam (on Linux) download at full speed, while (Steam on) Windows downloads at full speed.

I did.

I said Steam downloads slowly. Why would I make the distinction of Steam if I meant the entirety of the Linux OS?

Also I changed to Manjaro and Steam still refuses to download quickly. So much for “just working”.

You’ve literally edited every single one of your comments, we can see the pencil icon. Don’t sit here and act like you didn’t.

You’re also a gaslighter.

It’s because you are overly confident in the ignorant and inaccurate conclusions you’ve drawn.

Tell me which conclusions I have drawn and what is inaccurate? I’d love to hear.

but you said everything just works?

Here’s a fresh image showing everything at once, also.

I am waiting for your excuses.

Notice how I didn’t call you names once? Grow up.

Here’s Windows today downloading at 1.1Gbps. Keep in mind, the download finished so quickly, it didn’t have time to reach 1.9Gbps.

Here’s Linux reaching a max of 125Mbps, as of RIGHT NOW.

Continue to be insufferable and make excuses for your terrible OS.

I’ve been Googling for hours, and people say to disable IPv6 and install DNSMASQ. Neither fixed it.

Honestly might just go back to Windows. I can’t continue to waste my life troubleshooting the most basic shit in the world. It’s not like my entire PC is slow, it’s just Steam.

Perhaps I will try Linux again for the 80th time in a few months to see where it sits then.

You’re mad at me because I said Linux doesn’t just work, and I followed it with proof.

You’re hostile and gross. Enjoy coping.

You probably fucked something up and are blaming Linux not “just working.” I’ve installed many distros on many machines, my servers, my laptops, my desktop I’m on right now… they all connected at full speeds. In other words, it just works.

I literally clicked “install”. But yes, please, blame me. That’s how you push away new users, by blaming them, instead of understanding things don’t “just work” on Linux.

My browser getting the full speed shows that it’s not my connection being set to half duplex.

My web browser gets the full 1900Mbps.

I don’t expect you to help me. The Linux community doesn’t help, they just sit there and attack people, and then wonder why their OS gains 0.000001% market share every year.

Also I didn’t talk like a moron. I said Linux doesn’t “just work”, and the irony is that you refuse to help me fix something on linux that should “just work”.

I am literally using Linux right now. Busy spending all my hours trying to fix it and make it work.

Why does Steam only download at 100Mbps max, when Windows downloads at 1500Mbps? Would appreciate any help trying to make basic functions work. Thanks.

You know you can use multiple operating systems and stop shilling for one, right?

So Linux doesn’t “just work”. People in here with PC hardware and claiming they have issues. The “solution” is to buy different hardware.

Guess what? Both of those pieces of hardware just work on Windows.

Cope, though.

I love this thread.

Linux users constantly talk about how Linux just works and Windows is garbage, but then half these comments are talking about how you should buy an entirely different computer to make Linux run with FEWER issues.

Windows may have it’s problems, but I don’t need to buy an entirely new PC to make it work. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, doesn’t matter. It just works.

I didn’t know what to do. I was being threatened with a ban, even after explaining myself and my edits.

At the end of the day the Wikipedia page didn’t matter to me that much. Who cares if people get misinformation about an OS update. I quite literally didn’t get paid enough to deal with that.

It just really changed my perspective on Wikipedia. Unless you look at the history and check out profiles of people who get in edit battles, you really don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.

At the end of the day the Wikipedia page I was trying to edit ended up being corrected by someone else (who completely disregarded all of my effort), but it took a month, and someone else to do it, before the page wasn’t full of misinformation anymore. RIP to anyone who visited that page within that month and never returned, because they were fed 80% misinformation.

Their profile was banned last time I looked about a year ago. My profile I deleted because it was permanently tainted by that asshole spamming my talk page.

I remember posting about it on Reddit back when it happened a few years ago, and everyone in the comments told me how they’ve had similar experiences. Really just made me weary about trusting Wikipedia. I mean sure, if they get the date of a movie wrong that’s fine, but as for more serious topics, I just can’t really trust it.

Even sources can be garbage. I’ve seen plenty of blog spam cited as sources, which means nothing.

Have you ever looked at the sources? Some pages have some insane blog spam “sources” linked.

Nah.

I edited a page for a new OS update that was coming out. The page was FULL of misinformation, and I cleaned it up, linked official documentation as sources, etc.

My edits were reverted by some butt hurt guy who originally wrote the page full of misinformation, 0 sources, and broken English.

I reverted back to mine.

He reverted back to his.

He spammed my profile page calling me names, and then reported me to Wiki admins. I was told not to revert changes or I would be perma-banned. I explained how the original page was broken English, misinformation, and 0 sources were cited. They straight up told me they did NOT care.

Stopped editing wiki pages, and stopped trusting them. They didn’t care about factual information. They just wanted to enforce their reverting rule.

YouTube is dead, right, guys?
